Next month, experts predict a powerful magnetic storm that will last for eight days.
A magnetic storm is a global phenomenon in the Earth’s upper atmosphere caused by strong geomagnetic disturbances. These perturbations occur when energetically charged particles, ionized substances and electromagnetic radiation from the Sun, interact with the Earth’s magnetic field.
Magnetic storms can be generated by solar flares, coronal mass ejections, solar wind, and other solar phenomena. When these solar phenomena occur, they create magnetic storms that affect Earth’s magnetic field.
Magnetic storms can cause not only a beautiful view of the northern lights, but also various problems for technology and equipment on Earth. Magnetic storms can also affect a person’s well-being.
In particular, people may experience headaches, low or high blood pressure, dizziness, nausea, heart and eye pain, weakness and insomnia.
